Living Sustainably in Everton Park

We all want to try and do our bit for the environment, so it might be time that we all started to make more of an effort to live sustainably in Everton Park

We can all make a few simple changes in our life that may seem small, but all help to make a big difference.

Here are some sustainable living ideas:

Recycle more – One of the best ways we can all be more sustainable is by cutting down on the amount of waste we produce. This can be done by recycling more, re-using items and by thinking about whether we need to buy the things that we do.

Choose natural products – Do you use commercial cleaners in your home or business? If you do then it might be time to find a natural alternative that will be healthier for your family and for our waterways. Click here to read about some possible household cleaning alternatives.

Use cars less – A lot of people in Everton Park use their cars to get around, but could you substitute your car for a more environmentally friendly mode of transport? For example you could walk or cycle or catch public transport. If you do need your car for travel perhaps you could consider organising a carpool to get you to and from work everyday.

Choose renewable energy – Where possible choose renewable energy sources to help reduce the planet’s reliance on coal. Solar panels are becoming increasingly popular in Everton Park, but you might also like to visit www.greenpower.gov.au to find out more about choosing renewable energy sources.
